Imagine a bell is like a happy kid who jumps up and down, it keeps ringing for a long time. A drum is more like a sleepy kid who just taps once or twice before falling back to sleep. That's why bells sound musical, while drums feel rhythmic.
Examples
- A school bell rings out across the playground
- A snare drum thumps loudly during a parade
- A church bell tolls at sunset
